Lyme Disease Changed This Woman’s Life

A Huron County woman is sharing her experience with Lyme disease.
A few points:
- By the time she was diagnosed, she already had it chronically.
- Lyme disease has crippled her immune system setting her up to become ill with anything going around.
- She has had to deal with two pulmonary embolisms, ‘long COVID,’ and Forester’s Disease (producing too much calcium causing painful bone spurs).
- She now educates others on this highly controversial disease that has no accurate testing or accepted treatment. She also explains how difficult it is to find a Lyme literate doctor.
If you need a Lyme literate doctor the best place to look is your state’s Lyme support groups. These folks are the boots on the ground that know the local doctors and which ones are experienced.

Listen to Willy Burgdorfer, the “discoverer” of Lyme disease:
“The controversy in Lyme disease research is a shameful affair. I say that because the whole thing is politically tainted. Money goes to people that have for the past 30 years produced the same thing. Nothing. Serology or serology plus has to be started from scratch with people that don’t know beforehand the results of their research.
Sadly, current research is taking the same old tack that people are simply struggling with inflammation (PTLDS) – not an active infection. While this is always true, it is often only a partial truth, with active infection being the driver to the inflammation. In other words, treat the infection and symptoms get better or go away entirely. If only inflammation is treated, symptoms will continue until the infection(s) is/are dealt with. And this brings up another point entirely dismissed by mainstream research and medicine: this is commonly a polymicrobial issue – meaning more than one infectious organism is involved requiring yet more savvy, complex treatments. The patient in the video doesn’t mention this at all making me wonder if she even knows about coinfections; however, I’ve done enough media interviews to understand that everything has to be condensed down into a two minute sound-bite which is impossible with a complex topic like Lyme/MSIDS.
